For our most recent visit to my hometown, we decided to book a room at a brewery inn in Werneck (district of Lower Franconia in northern Bavaria). It was a good and convenient choice, as we only had to walk about a minute to reach the castle grounds.
I left home 40 years ago, and nowadays I’m trying catch up on local sights I missed to see when I was young.
We had picked a glorious day to take a stroll through the park.
Balthasar Neumann, Würzburg’s most famous architect of his time, had built this castle for the Prince Bishop, Friedrich Carl von Schönborn, between 1733 – 1745.
This historical postcard is part of my private collection.
The castle houses both a psychiatric and an orthopedic clinic.
The café, chapel, and park can be accessed by the public.
